| This article is about the Armada-series Mini-Con. For the Classics-series Mini-Con, see Firebot (Classics). |
- Firebot is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Firebot leads the Emergency Mini-Con Team and does so with unmatched zeal. His enthusiasm is infectious, pushing his already hardworking teammates to even greater levels. He doesn't stop until his job is done, and he pushes others to put in that same one-hundred-percent-plus—and they do.
He's a friend to his subordinates when he needs to be, a hard-nosed boss to them when he needs to be...even a brawler when he needs to be, and even sometimes when he doesn't really need to be. A fair few Decepticons have learned not to underestimate the little rescue worker.
In the Universe war, Firebot (or an alternate-universe version of him) is partnered with the Autobot Fireflight and fellow Mini-Con Thunderwing.
